Very smart people; very unfocused management
Very smart people; very unfocused management
The technical people, computer scientists, and architects are some of the smartest and most passionate people I've ever worked with in over 20 years in software companies. There is an expert in anything; you're never more than 2-3 phone calls or emails away from getting a very authoritative answer to any question.
There have been layoffs in 5 of the last 7 years. There is no job security and no long-term plans. It's virtually impossible to plan out more than 2-3 months of a project, and there is no vision on what products to build or what customers need. In the last ~3 years, this has become one of the most chaotic, me-too organizations.
Please, oh please, figure out where you want this company to go and focus on getting there. You're far too scattered and ambiguous to be successful.
Remember when Adobe was known for Photoshop and Acrobat? What is Adobe known for now? Mediocrity and chaos.
